Most probably while in possession of Wolfgang Henneg the château was rebuilt in baroque style. At the time of Jan Václav Buben of Litice (1733) in the Southern wing the château chaple of St. Anne  was built with its richly decorated entrace port from the courtyard. The space of the chaple pervades the groundfloor and the first floor of the château. Between 1850 and 1860 the château was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style by Jana Tieglová of Lindenkron.
The original altar was destroyed during the war. The current altar was brought to the chaple from the church of archangel Michael of the village of Lauterbach near Sokolov. The most precious work is the painting of St John the baptist. The fresco of Madona Svatohorská beyond the vault is noteworthy too. The ceremony regularly takes place here every last Sunday in the month.
The château is a three-wing, three-storey building finished with a gable roof with a small tin spire. The front facade of the central part is divided by three-part arcades. The entrance into the chaple of St Anne faces a smaller courtyard that is closed from both sides by the two wings. On the sides of the entrance there are the sandstone statues of St Leonard and St Felix. Both are good quality works from the first half of the 18th centry, yet today in a very bad condition, headless and rather weathered.
The area of the château Osečany is in total 7,5 hectares , the built-up area of which is only 645 square metres, the rest being taken by the château park with numerous full-grown woody plants, roads, garages and a part of granary.
The building of the château for sale inside the château compound was proclaimed an estate cultural monument in 1998 (the château compound and the park) and is thus registred on the corresponding list ÚSKP(The Central list of cultural monuments in the Czech republic, managed by The National Heritage Institute).

Jablonná Chateau

Orlík was established as a royal castle beside a ford across the River Vltava in the second half of the 13th century, probably by Přemysl Otakar II, although in the Middle Ages it came into the hands of noble families and its ownership changed many times. From 1408 the Zmrzlík of Svojšín family owned it, and during their time the Hussite Captain Jan Žižka of Trocnov stayed in the castle. In 1508 the castle burned down, and was rebuilt as a Renaissance chateâu by the new owners, the Lords of Švamberk. In 1623 the Eggenbergs acquired Orlík, and in 1717 it was inherited by the Schwarzenbergs. At the beginning of the 19th century it became their main residence. In 1802 the chateâu was burned out, and during the subsequent repairs a fourth storey was added to the building. The most famous member of the family was Field Marshal Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, who was victorious over Napoleon in the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. The current Romantic Gothic appearance dates from 1849 to 1860, when partial remodelling in this style was carried out according to plans by Bernard Gruber. The Early Gothic style castle of Orlík was confiscated by the Communist Regime after 1948, but in 1990s was reverted to the Schwarzenbergs.
Access to the chateâu is by a stone bridge across the moat. Three round towers rise above the main façade, one of them being the original, built in the 14th century. The passage into the chateâu is cut into the rock and leads to a trapezoidal courtyard, with arcades on the ground floor. The oldest building is the former palace, which dates from the 14th century and forms the north side of the courtyard.
The interiors are mainly in the Empire style, from the first half of the 19th century. The Lovecký sál (Hunter's Hall), with quadripartite ribbed vaulting, is original Gothic, and the chapel, also dating from the Gothic period, has a net vault. From an artistic point of view, the most valuable rooms are the state rooms on the first floor; the Greater and Lesser Knight's Halls; Hunting Hall; Blue and Empire Saloons; Library, and the Gun Corridor. The interiors are furnished in the style of the period and feature the family's collection of art works.
Adjoining the chateâu is an English-style large park, covering 143 hectares (350 acres), with native and non-native species of trees and shrubs, and a greenhouse with a collection of fuchsias. The Pseudo-Gothic Schwarzenberg vault is in the western part of the park.

Orlík nad Vltavou Castle

The ruins of a medieval stronghold called Starý Zámek are situated northwest of Tábor in the direction of Sedlec. Its history reaches back to the 14th century.
In 1434 the castle was unsuccessfully besieged by Prokop Holý´s troops; in the early 17th century the castle was plundered by the imperial army and never repaired afterwards. In the early 19th century stone from the ruins was used for construction in the nearby village. Parts of towers have remained from the castle and some walls of the new palace and the gate. Due to its favourable location in forested countryside above two ponds this is a widely sought after location.

The manor of Oltyně was separated again in 1859 from the Stádlec property and became self-dependent. Josef Fellner from Feldegg, those days owner of the manor, constructed the neo-renaissance chateau standing up to the present day in the middle of English park.
Original rectangular building was partly wooden. Later on the right wing was annexed. 
After the wedding of Anna Fellner from Feldegg with Jan Křižík, son of Ing. František Křižík, the chateau becomes possession of Křižík family.
